Cancer Nature
Dominated by the ever-changing moon, Crabs are known for their intense emotions & uncanny intuition. Think of them as the zodiac's empaths, picking up on vibes like a finely tuned antenna.
A first encounter with a Cancer can be much like trying to crack open a lobster claw: it's a little intimidating, maybe even standoffish. But once that shell cracks, you've got a friend for life-one who'll have your back through thick – thin, from coast to coast, maybe even on another planet.
But seriously, today these people are like psychic; they just know things. It's like they have a direct line to your subconscious, reading your thoughts before you've even thought them. Or maybe, their horoscope predicted a day of heightened intuition! So forget the superficial chitchat that is oh-so-easy. Crabs want realness, connection to the real person inside, and conversations about much more than the weather or the latest celebrity gossip.
Any effort at trying to impress a Cancer, schmoozing him, or wooing him with hollow niceties-it's not just a no-no but is tantamount to the crime of serving a steak to a vegan: it doesn't get takers. They flourish best at an intimate space with selected humans, good vibe, high feelings, masks are off: real or natural.

The Lowdown
- The Hidden Facets
-
Extremely unselfish, Cancer depletes herself to make the lives of others better, often leaving her own cup dry. As their horoscope often points out, Crabs have emotional needs that must be met day-to-day. She yearns for that same nurturing – care she gives out to others. Hint: Ask her how she feels sometimes, would ya?
♋ is prone to push her needs aside in favor of others, which will eventually make her passive-aggressive and resentful. She can harbor resentment for months, then explode. Where a simple, "Hey, will you put your socks in the wash basket?" she's apt to go into a total meltdown – act like your sloppiness is the same as not loving her. Communication, dear Crab, is the magic key.
- As Lover & Mistress
-
Cancers speak the language of love fluently. They offer protection, security, and invoke a love that is nourishing in depth, devotion. As lovers, they're all about emotional connection, often preferring long, meaningful relationships over fleeting dalliances.
As a mistress, this woman is very much the same. She is loyal & comforting, steadfast, if you have ever seen a crab protect its home, you'll have a fair idea of what you're in for. Just remember, the Crab also has claws.
- As Worker & Like a Boss
-
Who said anything about "working late into the night?" Independent Crabs may not be huge fans of the regimented office environment, often doing their best work outside conventional hours-perhaps during the witching hours. These industrious crustaceans love a job well done but may baulk when it comes down to the unavoidable interpersonal dynamics of a team. They don't like feeling that anyone is breathing down their neck – must know that their schedule, productivity belong to them & them alone.
Trying to figure out an intellectual, emotional Cancer boss is often like trying to solve a puzzle: What does this person want today? How can you curry favor with them? Instead of pursuing these questions, focus on your work. Your ♋boss isn't there to be your friend or part of your social network. They are there to ensure the job is done with the best hands.
